Project Gotham Racing 4 - game versus reality

Project Gotham Racing 4 has the video game version of the question, "Is it real or is it Memorex?" They've created a split-screen video of the latest Gotham racer next to actual hi-def footage of the live cars churning through the streets of New York City. When it comes to the car scenes, even when you know which one is live and which is video, there's still the occasional flicker of doubt. Watching it, it's hard to believe we ever got excited about a game called Pong.
Thanks for the tip, zizzy!

Absolutely beautiful... This makes me wish I enjoy racing games more... but unlike something like Halo, I can actually go out and drive my car fast.

Games are a bit more forgiving ;)

FACT! I think we have all found that out the hard way!

Hey, the Ferrari didn't crash into the wall like it did in real life!

i have always found that some many games over-do the tyre screeching and tyre smoke when theres no major skidding going on, the engine noises in this sound very good though (presuming they are from pgr4 and not the real ones)

Awesome!
I hope the next GTA has these type of graphics.

whatever, that game is gay
first time i picked it up, i raced my friend who owned the game. me being a gran turismo god, was faster. i said good race and walked away, he said yeah i beat you good!
its not racing if the person who was fastest does not win, that game is arcade racing crap. need for speed hot pursuit with better graphics.
if your gonna race on the xbox, get forza for the love of god
